Morgan's vocals in this song haunts me, they're so eery and yet feminine at the same time, if that makes sense...anyway in my mind I see this as a person who has been in a very painful break-up, maybe to the point where she feels like dying for him:
"Every time I speak
Wipe away these tears"
Obviously, whenever they talk to each other she starts crying cos she misses him
"Living every day in fear
Finding nothing but empty"
She's scared of what the world will be like without him, and she realizes that inside she's just empty without his love
"Wide awake and dreaming
Is this what is seems?
Close my eyes forever
I'll wake up"
She's awake and she doesn't want to believe what is happening, and my 'closing her eyes forever' she would die and she believes she will wake up again (in heaven) to be with him
"Desperation strips me
These last days have not been free"
She is desperate to find him again, and she hasn't been able to be herself cos he is always on her mind
"Stealing every breath from me
Whispering defeat"
She feels helpless cos the thought of him and how they were leaves her breathless, like he still has control over her
"And I see it in your eyes
Long gone
And I feel it in your heart
Long gone"
She doesn't feel or see love in him anymore
